Ok, so this is kind of embarrassing but here it goes. I'll admit I kind of let some of these stories go and I understand if people either forgot or just gave up on them. That being said I want to get back into writing or rewriting some of these stories once more since I in all honesty don't want to have them just sit unfinished.
At worst I might offer them for adoption but for now I do want to try and finish some of the main ones right now. those being now in a poll for people to vote on.
I already started on Jikkan no Kishi and plan on working mostly on two at a time. the choices being...
...
Jikkan no Kishi/ Sennin no Arcades
...
Jikkan no Kishi/ Menma's Ultimate Encore
...
Jikkan no Kishi/ Huntsman in the Grand Line
...
Now the reason I stopped writing them vary (Mostly I got sick a bit ago, thought it was major, turned out to be severe acid reflux at the time and honestly I just got caught up in other things in my life) but a main reason was for all of my stories there were 3 major things I lacked...
1: No general idea how I wanted the stories to end or where I planned them to go. in all honesty I pretty much winged them after around 5 chapters in and didn't properly plan things out as well as I should've. Best example being probably Menma's Ultimate Encore. I had ideas but no idea how to properly connect said ideas.
...
2: Lack of insight on the stories world building. this is more or less what stopped me from continuing Huntsman since some of my ideas were... honestly kind of horrible, more accurately the ghosts which I intended to be a Devil Fruit ability of sorts but even then the Poniglyph made no sense and i had little information on the side stories and caused continuity errors in both world building and plot. case and point someone was going to get a saber-tooth Zoan on Jaune's Crew... but we know that Oda gave it to someone else, as well as a few details that would've made no sense going on. Same with some of my other stories to be honest.
...
3: My writing skills, while improving from my previous works and attempts were still rather... lackluster to put it lightly. if you read Arc in the Grand Line it honestly looks like a mess reading it again (Which I admitted was rushed and not thought out) but point is if I do write a story I want to give it my best, not have it be jumbled or make no sense but have it be enjoyed by others.
...
However reworking the stories to make better sense, actually having a starting point, an ending point and a general idea how to get there, (Plus hopefully better writing skills) I want to give it a chance.
Meanwhile stories such as Next Hero's Arc and Drunken Recollections will kind of be left alone until I get closer to the end of one of the stories. (Mostly because for Next Hero's Arc I want to see more of RWBY to lay out a better idea of world building and for Drunken Recollections I want to replay some of the games to get a better understanding of the lore and experiences in them... then have a drunken Link mess it up completely with inconsistencies and shenanigans.)
So I apologize for this A/N but I want to hear your opinions on if you want me to take on another story once again. also if you're interesting in adopting a story idea I'm not against having someone make their own variant of it. the only thing is that Huntsman in the Grand Line is a challenge I took from Necro Z so if you want to "Adopt" Huntsman it's better to just take the same challenge i did. Necro Z also has a good beginning to his version, albeit some plot-holes but still pretty solid.
...
Finally I feel like I should apologize for the lack of updates, seriously it wasn't my intentions but by this point words mean nothing. I messed up, I admit that but I want to give it one last shot and possibly give these old stories some actual respect by finishing them, or giving them to someone much better than me to write their own variation.
I'll keep the poll open until the beginning of June (June 3rd) so that should give anyone who is still interested in my stories a chance to vote on which ones I focus on next. I hope that throughout everything that happened with 2019-2021 that everyone is doing well.
